HAAANDS (updated 8/14/10)

Well, at the moment there's only 1 set of hands. But i plan on making more and updating this topic.

Total 5 hours for both.
For each hand drawing I do I'm going to try a different type of shading.
Criticism is welcome!

Edit: forgot to post the reference i used...

Thats impresive
something i learned with shadeing though is it looks really nice if you always shade in the same direction not necessarily following the body
has a neet look to it that i like though

I'm very impressed, bro. I didn't expect a lot of drawing skill in most members who joined here.

Please continue developing your skills.

@de8struction, ya I started to realize that i can't blend things like i can on paper. I'm still kind of getting used to this whole tablet thing.

@edyrem, I'm not much of an animator, I use pencil and paper for most of my drawings. I like doing very detailed black and white sketches.

Thanks to both of you.

Nice drawing,
though there is something that bothers me greatly..

Stop being lazy when it comes to shading.
a few lines cannot be considered proper shading.
either start doing cross-hatching or use the side of the pencil instead of the tip
( you can also use the tip of your finger to even it out even more )

Try the different styles on a piece of paper to see the difference

except for cross hatching i don't know how i can do any of those things with a tablet...and when i draw on paper i do use my finger and the side of my pencil among other things.

This was all done on the computer.

In what program did you draw this ?

cross hatching would be easy, i love cross hatching, but on the computer theres better techniques to shade.

Interesting,this really looks like its done on paper ,
though I would use other techniques to shade when using a tablet if I where you
